Thank You Summer...and FIT TIP (#40)

Thank You!
Thank you for the multitude of
splendid & sumptuous
fruits & vegetables to be found...
in abundance.
I adore mixing & mingling them.

Two salads I put together this weekend:
**thanks for the inspiration,
The Minimalist @ NY Times**

Mix:
Wedges of tomatoes & peaches,
slivers of red onions,
cilantro & red pepper flakes.
Dress w/olive oil & lemon or lime juice.
Simply exquisite!


Mix:
Sliced radishes **or jicama or kohlrabi**
and chunks of mango
with coconut milk, lime juice,
curry powder & cilantro **or mint**
Oh my my...crunchy radish paired w/smooth mango, delightful!

P.S. Thank you also, summer, for not a single
insect or bug bite!
and now...


FIT TIP (#40): PUSH **it** UP
Push-ups are one of the most effective exercises out there.
Being able to do push-ups can make life easier...less prone to injuries, stronger in everyday tasks, and sleeker arms & shoulders.
TRY THIS: 10 push-ups, 3 times a week. Work up to 3 sets of 10, 3 times a week.

I need to try your salad recipes for lunch!! (you know a salad won't count as dinner in this house).

No bug bites this summer? LUCKY you!
